Thread #11797
my brother in law has to replace his 92 sc430. Need suggestions. Other forums and friends say that he has to take apart 5 parts of the engine just to get to it. Even a bolt off the tranny. Any ideas or help?
well, can anyone give me some pointers?:shrug:
Do you mean an SC400? For the 1UZ-FE engine, the starter is under the intake manifold. Ridiculously stupid design. It cost me about $500 to fix including a new starter on my GS400.

If you are referring to the SC400 then it will be a costly repair because you have to remove a few thing to get to the starter. That is the only thing I hated about the 1UZ.

I just check the removal procedure on an sc430 on our mitchelleondemand at work and yes it too, is under the intake manifold, sorry...
ouch...
yeah it sounds complicated. but thats this weekend project i guess :shrug:
go for it, its not that hard, just patient n time, use white out to label vaccum hoes, etc.. remember to get intake manifold gaskets...
